Passport data as a legal collision

Passport data is quite an interesting moment in Russian legislation. Its singularity lies in the fact that nowhere is there any complete, legally justified explanation of what is included in this concept. And this greatly complicates communication with many instances and authorities, making confusion and making it incomprehensible what exactly it is necessary to make in official papers.

Very often, when filling out various applications, communicating with employees of the passport office, as well as when registering a business or legal entity, it is required to provide passport data. And from the employee to the employee with whom communication is going on, the list of what needs to be indicated in this column can both expand and decrease.

Before moving on to the practical part of determining what exactly is included in this concept, it is worthwhile to understand why passport data is needed at all. They are a kind of identifier of personality. It is not necessary for a person to write his or her name, surname and patronymic, and also the date of birth, it is enough to indicate the figures that appear in the document so that it can be found. This is used by many structures - mobile operators store a database where there is all information about a citizen to recover from him a debt if he manages to do so; Banks also track non-payers in the same way, not allowing them to hide from reckoning. State bodies, in turn, most often perform job descriptions that call on them to request and record passport data of Russian citizens. In these institutions, problems usually arise because of the fact that it is not clear which information should be included in the documents.

Another case in which information from the most important document in life to any person is useful, may be the re-registration of securities in business. Various legal entities begin to exist under the guidance of a person with the same data in the passport, and then he has to change the document for some reason. This procedure is called "changing the passport data of the founder" and passes in accordance with the procedure established by law. First of all, it is necessary to notify the registering body within the established time period, namely three days from the moment of document change. After this, the application is submitted, where the updated information is indicated. The paper is signed by the director and certified by a notary. In seven days, all changes will be made to official documents.

The passport data itself includes the number and series, as well as the name of the issuing authority and the code of its subdivision. But many civil servants can count such a list incomplete, demanding to include in it a name, a surname and a patronymic, and also a date of birth.

From a legal point of view, this procedure is not correct. But if you approach the question from the point of view of logic and common sense, it is much easier to agree with the employee of the service and make the necessary corrections. This will save your nerves and time, and most importantly, do not create additional problems in dealing with government agencies.
